Review Summary
Decentraleyes is praised for enhancing user privacy by blocking tracking from common CDNs and serving resources locally, improving browsing speed. It integrates well with ad blockers and operates seamlessly without user configuration. However, some users report website breakages and limited CDN coverage. Certain features like blocking missing resources may cause site errors, and verifying effectiveness can be challenging. Overall, it is regarded as a reliable privacy tool with occasional compatibility issues.
